snoz1230 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 i'm going to try zigs tomorrow for the first time, any advice please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inhiding Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Unless you get lucky first time , vary the depth till you work out at what depth they are, I am told casting out of a cup helps to avoid dragging the bank out with you with longer zigs .... Try the search function on here there will be tons of posts around the subject Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beza26 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Don't put a bottom bait on Make sure you use rig foam, a decent hooklink material, try and get yourself a good idea of what depth the fish are likely to be at, and most of all, make sure you stay confident.

northernlad Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Apologies to drag up an old thread, didn't want to start a new one on same subject My question is - do zigs work in coloured water or is it just a clear water tactic? I have never tried them before so really wanting to get the basics right before I make a complete numpty of myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beza26 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I've caught on zigs in very coloured water mate, still a great tactic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt859 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 If you use foam as the "bait" then give it a quick dip and squeeze in a glug of some sort. Where abouts are you going to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernlad Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Syndicate water ( Sulby ) the water is chocolate, so i am a little unsure, was going to try them bugz to see if they work. I havent tried zigs before so it is a complete learning thing for me. All I know is that they are a long pop up link about 4- ?ft long and flourocarbon. Totally new to it.

hrrypaul Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Dont use flurocarbon mate as this sinks, my favorite is double strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
